Hanging up, the words echoed inside my head "She's asleep, do you understand? She's gone - your mother is dead." I tried to find courage to fight the pain, as outside it grew quiet and started to rain... Standing in the doorway, looking at you, hit by reality, I realized your life was through. Never again would I my feelings bare, or hear you tell me how much you care. No more of your love and warmth would I feel now came the pain, this hurt will never heal. One by one the tears stained my face, as I thought of you being in a better place. Leaning over, I can't hold back and start to cry, as I kiss your cheek and whisper softly, I love you dear momma, goodbye. |

Dear Mary: I can feel your loss and pain. I too have lost my mother and there are no comforting words I can say, except that I understand. writing about her helps. ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Thanks so much!! My mom passed away 15 years ago, and it still seems like yesterday. She was very special to me, she was my best friend. It was very hard for me to post this last night, as it had just started raining when I got to the Corner Pub... brought back some sad memories. It helps to be able to share them. Thank you! ![]() |
